re: Check out this video of UGA student getting arrested

Everyone needs to learn how to behave around Athens PD and you will be fine. I was drunk walking home from Mean Mikes late one night in 96. I was walking around where Pulaski and Broad intersect by the Holiday Inn. Cop pulled his car over on Pulaski right behind me and hit his lights.

I immediately fell to a prone position on my belly and layer my arms out in front of me. I could hear the pebbles crunch under his boots as he slowly circled me but I did not challenge his authority by eyeballing him. I did not speak. It was not until he gently placed his baton under my chin and cued me that it was permissible to look up that I saw his face. He told me to slowly rise and asked me for my papers. I gave him my license and told him I respected him for suspecting me of a crime but that I was just walking home. After a lengthy stare he simply said "Good......Good .....Now be on your way."

If more of you would learn how to treat cops you would be better off.
